Chapter 1058

Jicheng, as the capital of the state of Yan, when Zhang Xiu didn't send troops to attack the state of Yan, Jicheng was very prosperous with people coming and going. Countless businessmen gathered here to do business for profit.

But now, because of Zhang Xiu's attack, people in the state of Yan are in a panic. Many businessmen are worried that they will be affected, so many businessmen have left ahead of time.

As a result, Jicheng is much colder.

There were only a few people coming and going in the streets. Even the vast majority of the people have been hiding at home, unwilling to come out at will, and are careful to avoid the war.

When Liu Bei arrived at Jicheng, he frowned at everything in Jicheng.

In principle, the capital of a country is not like this.

Liu Bei didn't think much about it. He just went to the imperial city quickly. When he came to the gate of the Imperial City, he was immediately stopped by the soldiers stationed at the gate. Especially when the soldiers looked at Liu Bei, they saw that Liu Bei was sloppy and tired. They didn't want to see him. They told him, "go, beg, go away, don't look for death here."

Liu Bei's face was slightly embarrassed.

He was regarded as a beggar, but Liu Bei was not angry. He said with a straight face, "please let me know. Liu Bei asks to see your majesty."

"Liu Bei?"

The soldier snorted, waved his hand and said, "I don't care whether you are Liu Bei, Wang Bei or horseback. As far as it is, you can roll for me. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude. This is the imperial city. How can it be a place for beggars like you to beg. If you offend a dignitary at will, you will not be able to get away with it. Go away, go away, go away

Liu Bei frowned and said, "I am Liu Bei, the Duke of Chu. I used to be the king of Chu. Besides, my majesty and I were martial brothers. You should report to us immediately. "

The soldier standing at the door hesitated.

Does Liu Bei have such a relationship?

But the soldiers on guard at the gate of the imperial city are new to the city. They don't know Liu Bei, so they don't know Liu Bei. Even once, Liu Bei was famous, but the soldiers in the army never heard of it.

"Wheel! Wheel

Just then, a carriage came slowly.

The carriage stopped outside the Imperial City, but situ guanjing strode down. Today, it's freezing. Guan Jing wears thick clothes with his hands in his sleeves to avoid being blown by the cold wind.

When Liu Bei saw Guan Jing, his eyes lit up and he said, "Guan situ, Guan situ!"

He knew that Guan Jing was situ now.

So, open your mouth and shout.

The soldier at the gate of the city looks unhappy because he is worried that Liu Bei will collide with Guan Jing, so that he will be implicated. But the next moment, Guan Jing's reaction shocked the soldiers.

As soon as Guan Jing saw Liu Bei, he was stunned for a moment. Then he came back to himself and bowed himself to say, "is it Xuande Gong?"

Liu Bei said: "Liu Bei, see the pass situ."

Guan Jinglian hurriedly said: "Xuande Gong has killed Guan Jing. You should be captured by Zhang Xiu. How Xuande Gong now, but suddenly appeared in succession, also came outside the imperial city

At this moment, the soldiers were trembling.

He didn't expect that Liu Bei was really a man of status. Even Guan Jing was quite respectful to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei glanced at the soldiers, but he didn't investigate the fact that the soldiers had a bad eye on people. He said with a straight face, "it's really a pity. This time, the reason why I was able to get rid of Zhang Xiu was that I told her that I was willing to go north to Jicheng to persuade her majesty. In this way, Zhang Xiu released me. That's how I get out of the cage. "

Guan Jing didn't notice Liu Bei's subsequent release, so he asked directly, "is Xuande Gong really going to open his eyes for Zhang Xiu now, and persuade his majesty to submit to Daqin?"

"It's impossible!"

Liu Bei answered.

Now that he has come out, he has a decision, and it is impossible for him to make eyes for Zhang Xiu. This time, he wanted to take advantage of Gongsun Zan's strength to avenge himself, so he couldn't work for Zhang Xiu any more.

When Guan Jing heard Liu Bei's words, he was also relieved. With a look of approval on his face, he said: "since Xuande is here to join your majesty, your majesty will be very happy. Go, go, let's go to the palace

Guan Jing took Liu Bei into the palace, and the soldiers did not dare to stop him.

They came to the hall and waited.

Less than a quarter of an hour, Gongsun Zan got the news and came to the hall. When Gongsun Zan saw Liu Bei, his face also showed an unexpected look. He was very happy and said with a smile, "Xuande, how did you come?"

Liu Bei said: "I'm going to Jicheng in the north. I've come to your majesty specially. Please accept me."

Gongsun Zan narrowed his eyes, looked at Liu Bei in front of him, and said, "Xuande, I heard that you and Zhao Yun were captured by Zhao Yun in the first battle of Changdu county. In the end, it fell into the hands of Zhang Xiu. But now, how did you go north? "

He had doubts in his mind.

After all, Gongsun Zan doesn't know about Liu Bei's current situation. In case Liu Bei actually obeys Zhang Xiu, but comes to his command to plan for Zhang Xiu under the guise of his name, it will be extremely unfavorable for the state of Yan.Liu Bei once again explained: "to your majesty, Zhang Xiu has now retreated to Gaoyang County of Hejian state. What Zhang Xiu publicizes to the outside world is that after the spring of next year, she will go north to attack the state of Yan. "

After a pause, Liu Bei said: "I'm not willing to be imprisoned by Zhang Xiu all the time, so I took the initiative to find Zhang Xiu and said that I would go north for him and persuade his majesty to submit to Daqin. Actually, I want to get rid of Zhang Xiu. Thanks to Zhang Xiu's agreement, I was able to get rid of the cage and go north to the state of Yan. "

Hearing this, Gongsun Zan nodded.

Liu Bei's words, he believes, after all, there is a deep hatred between Liu Bei and Zhang Xiu. According to Gongsun Zan's understanding of Liu Bei, Liu Bei may have betrayed Zhang Xiu. He wants to depend on him again and then consider dealing with Zhang Xiu.

Gongsun Zan's heart is thinking about the pros and cons of accepting Liu Bei.

Gongsun Zan still hesitated about this.

Gongsun Zan thought about it in his heart and then said, "Xuande, I'm very relieved that you are willing to come and return to me. Now, I also need to resist Zhang Xiu, so you are the best. I'll arrange for someone to take you down to have a rest. After I've dealt with the government affairs, we'll have a detailed talk about how to deal with Zhang Xiu and the arrangement for you. What do you think? "

"Thank you

Liu Bei bowed to thank him.

In Liu Bei's opinion, Gongsun Zan is sure to take him. His willingness is very simple. Zhang Xiu is going to sweep the whole world. It's impossible to leave a state of Yan.

Gongsun Zan had no way out, so he could only trust him and accept him. Then the two sides united to fight against Zhang Xiu in order to gain the living space of Yan state.

Gongsun Zan called for a servant, and let the servant take Liu Bei down.

In the hall, only Gongsun Zan and Guan Jing were left.

Gongsun Zan looked solemn, waved his hand and said, "give me a seat!"

When Guan Jing sat down, Gongsun Zan said, "situ, you went to the palace with Liu Bei. Did Liu Bei find you?"

"No!"

Guan Jing shook his head and explained: "when I entered the palace, I happened to see Liu Xuande at the gate of the city, but he was stopped by the soldiers. So, take him to the palace. When a minister enters the palace, he has something to report to his majesty. "

Gongsun Zan said, "what's the matter?"

Guan Jing replied, "it's about Wuhuan and Xianbei people sending troops. We have arranged people to go north and invite them to send troops. However, both Wuhuan people and Xianbei people say for the time being that this year's weather is freezing and the sheep are losing a lot. It's hard to survive the winter. There is no extra strength to help your majesty and they can't go south."

"Son of a bitch!"

Gongsun Zan was furious when he heard that.

According to Gongsun Zan's temperament, if there is no threat from Zhang Xiu, as long as the Hu people outside the Great Wall dare to speak like this, he will certainly mobilize the army to fight. But now Gongsun Zan is only angry and has no way to send troops.

After all, he can't protect himself.
